Post by: Londoner on February 11, 2008, 07:56:05 pm: £10 - £15 a week in my new little Peugot Partner. Probably more in the summer when I intend to sit in it with the air-con on to cool off between jobs.

Post by: Paul Coleman on February 11, 2008, 08:04:31 pm: I was topping up once a fortnight at a cost of about £70. My last fill up cost me £80. Also, I am working more now so that fill up seems to last more like 11 or 12 days. A bit of personal use comes out of this too. I suppose it averages out at about £6.50 a day.

MODIFIED TO PROVIDE MORE DETAIL.

My vehicle is a Renault Trafic van and has a 1.9D engine (100 dci). It contains an 800 litre tank but doesn't have more than 700 litres in it in case of overload. This van is the 2.9 tonne version (most are 2.7 tonne). Obviously mileage varies but it is about 10 - 11,000 per year.

The vehicle used , engine size , age , water carried .

Me for instance , VW Transporter , 2001 , 2.5 TDI ,88BHP , 425 L of water , never cost me more than £100 per month , reckon i do about 35 mpg .

Post by: Justen Uff on February 11, 2008, 08:34:50 pm: thanks for good reply I was thinking of Toyota hiace or Transit to carry a tank maybe about 650l
I thought maybe it could cost unnecessary fuel driving water around you don't use.

Post by: gary evans on February 12, 2008, 04:48:30 pm: About £125 per week split over 2 vans & a spare.

Just got new toyota hiace 120 so will try to get new mpg. Original is about 32mpg fully loaded with tucker 700 system every day. I would recommend toyota to anybody, i would have another if we get more work.

Ours is an 03 plate & it just has service every 12 months then of it goes.
